< Stage 11 - Home - Stage 13 >
The stage is hilly and overall intense. After approx. 90 km, the route enters the city to take a first pass of the “muro” (or wall) of via Principi di Acaja, and to crest the first category-one GPM of the 2019 Giro. The race is new to this climb, which slopes at 9.4% for 8.9 km (with gradients exceeding 10% for over 6 km, and topping out at 14%). After a fast running descent, Pinerolo is 16 km away.
Winner: Cesare Benedetti
After a rather boring first half of Giro, finally a real stage!
Simon Yates for me.
